You need to use mypy or similar to not check it at runtime: els: List[int] To test it at runtime you can use typeguard s @typechecked annotation. For convenience you can also use Pydantic.

If you trust how the bbc tells the story, you also trust them when they say the image is true. Not a technical problem IMO.

I see your point. On the other side, I can think of one reason for wanting to remove superfluous words: the user pays per token.

You can use the same argument to explain away homelessness. Personally I doubt _many_ is any big, or even most. Unfortunately, like you, I do not have any data.

They should, but they do not. Whenever I see "should" in a sentence I think: why is this not how things are? What are the incentives? In this case: who is the person deciding what gets built? What are the consequences for being ov

I am not a big fan of PHP, but I remember generating CSS with it. Everybody found that _completely unacceptable_. Now most tools generate CSS in JS and mix structure and styling, and behaviour (using components). Fashion definitely has a st

These laws make more sense if one reads them as "heuristics", which is what they are.

I would rephrase this as: an institution most important goal is self-preservation. It is a bit the same as how a specific implementation can have security bugs, while an algorithm in abstract does not.

> It's that part of mathematics which is of any use Not sure it is such a sick burn for mathematicians. A lot of these guys see non-usefulness (maths for maths itself) as a badge of pride! :)

As a thought experiment. Was the original thing invented or discovered? Many things are re-invented/rediscovered from first principles. In maths, some people prefer to think maths are created, and some prefer to think in terms of disco

Data denormalization also helps with restoring individual tables and sharding. IMO one should aim for normalization and slowly denormalize only if needed.

I think OP is talking about ML and matrix (array) multiplication to learn the right weights in a neural network.

I am confused. Those amounts are ram, not gpu ram, aren‘t they? Macs cpus are impressive, but not for ml. A most realistic one for a consumer is a 4090 rtx 24 GB. A lot of models do not fit in that, so A6000 48GB and over for some professio

They are orthogonal issues. The connection was that if Python can be counterintuitive because of slice syntax, the same can be claimed of Julia and 1-indexed. It is not a good argument IMO. I see your point, but personally find it a matter

I like Julia, and Python has some weird bits. I see your point. But not sure this is an argument for it. Julia uses 1-indexed arrays. I guess counter-intuitiveness is in the eye of the beholder.

The person read thanking and registered apologizing. My hypothesis is because they see both as more or less equivalent, or a form of weakness.

All corporations have things in common, at the very least legally, and more. Nvidia, for example, meets the requirements too. Why you would trust a company not to increase prices because they make their own hardware I am not sure. I remembe
